I am having a hard time with that because I like John Edwards also. I would like to see Edwards as President and Obama as Vice. Two good looking men in the White House after having Howdy Doody Bush and the Grim Reaper!!! Unfortunately, being President really can wreck your looks. But I think Edwards in the primary and if Obama gets it, I will be out campaigning for him DAILY!!

Nope, not because of what all the others have said. Because a year ago, he was no one, now he's top news. Doesn't seem right for someone never even mentioned to just somehow be in the top runnings right now. Everyone seems to forget about all the other people running in different parties or the main 2 parties.
My vote is going to congressman Ron Paul(R) of Texas.

Having personally been of the belief that Obama is Muslim, I have done some research on this. My conclusion is that he identifies himself as Christian and has for a couple of decades. Because I am personally disgusted with our current Christian Militia in the white house I am leery of electing another christian president now, I would also not be inclined to vote for a Muslim at this time. Now that it is clear that there is no division between church and state, I have to think very clearly on the religious affiliation of a presidential nominee.
As it stands, I will consider Obama. Will I vote for him? 'Remains to be seen...

No, I prefer people who have a little bit of integrity and consistency in their political career. Not those who throw over past promises without a second thought because it's politically expedient for them to do so.
As recently as a year ago, he was still stating that he was going to complete his Senate term and wasn't going to run for President. What are his words worth?
SEN. OBAMA: I will serve out my full six-year term. You know, Tim, if you get asked enough, sooner or later you get weary and you start looking for new ways of saying things. But my thinking has not changed.
MR. RUSSERT: So you will not run for president or vice president in 2008?
SEN. OBAMA: I will not.

i imagine the Obama of the overall election can help get the conventional Obama into workplace. A liberal can no longer get elected if he/she stands on their time table because the conventional American gained't settle for them. So what they ought to do is fake they are patriotic, fake they are center of the line, you understand, the common lies, and then if he receives into workplace because of his comfortable maneuvering and lies, then he will bypass again to the time table he's had his entire existence, it is fairly liberal, anti-u . s . of america, socialist, new international order. he will promote us all down the river, yet as long as he can study a teleprompter so eloquently, properly, then that is okay.

Not yet, I would need to know what his platform is. Who his advisors are etc. He has said or done nothing. Voting for him because of his race is like we did voting for Kennedy because of his looks. JFK was a total burn out loser. Not that Obama would be, but he needs qualifications.

You dont have to vote the way you are registered. That's whats wrong with elections some think that only one side is good. I vote for the person not the party..........
He was for the state of Illinois and he hasn't done great things for Illinois, and Illinois has so many committing welfare fraud its not funny.......... No I will not vote for him.

I don't think I would vote for him at all. Isn't it odd that we never heard about him until just recently? We have had a "deceiver" in office for too long, why should we switch to another one? I have heard of too many things he is going to rectify, but at what cost?

I've been reading parts of his book. He comes off very centrist and family oriented.
That's either going to hurt him or help him. It will help him if he acts the same way in public and, if it came to the general election, I may have to consider him.
If he steers away from what he wrote in his book, it will be the end of his political career because he will seem dishonest.
EIDT:
I forgot to mention the name of the book. "Audacity to Hope".
It's a good read, so far.
